To enable Auto Release function in NextGen® Enterprise EHR, you must perform the following steps:
Set up the Auto Release practice preferences in File Maintenance.
Note: If your practice does not intend to use Auto Release, you can indicate that in the Auto Release Opt-out practice preference and stop at this step.
In System Administrator > Operations > Orders > Allow Interface Send, enable Send Orders to Interface.
In System Administrator > Operations, enable Allow access to Auto Release application.
To set up the time the Future or Recurring orders are to be auto released before the scheduled date, access the NextGen® Enterprise EHR Orders Auto Release utility (file name: NextGen.EMR.Lab.AutoRelease.exe). and set up the actual time the Future and Recurring orders the selected practice.
For more efficient processing, your practice could set up the automatic release of orders at 12:15 a.m.
Note: During the installation, the system places or updates the NextGen EHR Orders Auto Release utility in your NextGen Root folder.
When processing and working with Future or Recurring orders, you can "mark" an order for Auto Release, when necessary.
Note: If you set up Future or Recurring Orders to be automatically released in File Maintenance Practice Preferences, the system releases these orders based on the scheduled dates(s).
